girl, put your wellies on

1. my bed was abnormally cozy (as it always is during overcast weather) and there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth before i could peel myself out of it

2. no sun means clouds and no clouds means rain and rain means...

...wellies!

this fine pair of galoshes entered my life one unsuspecting afternoon as i wandered the aisles of my local wally-mart (welly-mart?). i spied them hidden in the back of a corner shelf, all coated in a thick layer of dust (for serious) with a neon $5 price sticker stuck haphazardly on the toe.

and they were my size.

i proceeded to wonder three things:

1. were these divinely placed here, just for me?

2. and if so, does that mean there is dust in heaven?

3. or maybe, just maybe, these navy-blue rain boots were simply part of an overstock supply of footwear originally intended for the actual walmart employees to wear while they worked on the docks and stuff.

hovering over the honey tree. I think those boots were destiny. Also, I'm glad you love your overcast and rain. Can you teleport me to where you are please? Because this whole frozen rain thing happening here is not the bomb.

i totally sung the title of this blog to the tune of 'girl put your records on' .. we were supposed to do that, right? or am i just forever doomed as a musical nerd who sings everything? it's raining here in lalaland too.. but still trumping that 10 degree weather back in nyc so i feel good about our rain :)
